Why would you install raspberry on a pc?? Think you've misunderstood the intention.
I think building and using SCP or similar is the one of thebest options, code needs to be transferred, but then also need GDB to run on the target so that needs and SSH style connection and an IDE on the dev system thats receptive to it....
I still say, use a Pc..use the right tools for the job.
Well, cross compiling from a more powerful system to an embedded device or an embedded linux device is quite common in the Embedded dev world and not specific to game dev. It is also quite common to use a Virtual Machine on something like a PC or hosted on a VMWare server that has a dev OS and tools installed or even a Docker instance.
The recommendation is not to install a Raspberry Pi on a PC but the Raspbian OS so there is a common OS between the two devices.
You may get away with some development on a Pi for a Pi, but the device is just not powerful enough for any large tasks and it was really never intended for such use.
Good luck.
